Summary
Kaidan doesn't buy into Shepard's claim about the Reaper threat. It feels like deja vu, the way no one is willing to believe her, even after she's been torn to shreds and reborn again to keep the galaxy safe.
At least Garrus makes her feel sane.

Summary
A week after the Collector base, a week of trawling around space and mindless errands and revisiting posts they only passed through, Garrus comes up to her cabin like a man on a mission.
They’ve gone back and forth over the past few days, him coming to her quarters or Shepard to his, passing around fleeting touches that carry more intent and are more explorative than anything they would have exchanged months ago. Sometimes, more often than not, it’s to simply spend time together, just as they always have.
For now, whatever it is between them feels real enough.
“Did you need me for something?”
“I—ah, yeah,” he says, and she twists her cheek into the dip of his cowl to look up at him.
Shepard smooths her hands down his chest, enjoying the twitch of muscle, the minute give of plates where they meet his hide, and his gaze flicks around her face. It lingers on a damp bang curled against her forehead before meeting hers again.
His hands settle on her hips and he glances to her bed before asking a curious, “Show me?”
surviving the omega 4 relay gives them a lot of time to themselves.

Summary
“Adopted.”
“Indeed.”
“I’ve adopted him?” Shepard repeated, part convinced that everyone else in the room was deluded. “I feel like I’d remember—”
Bakara smiled in such a way that it always reached her eyes. She placed a warm hand on Shepard’s arm and said, “Our family units don’t look the same as humanity’s. It’s easy to misunderstand.”
Shepard felt baffled, and then briefly lightheaded. And then, completely enraged. If Grunt called her for the Rax, that means he knew about this beforehand.
Bakara seemed to understand the microscopic changes in Shepard’s facial expression as they occurred. “It seems the two of you need to have a conversation,” she said gently.Bookmarked by expertmakodriver
